A Wonderful Bicycle.
st. James Gazette,

A number of gentlemen Interested in
the adaptation of cycles to military pur-
poses assembled at Hanwell yesterday
afternoon to witness some trials and ex
periments with bicycle which has been
constructed by Messrs. wilkins & Co. of
Holborn VIaduct. The bicycle, which in
its general outward appearance resem-
bIes O machine Of the familiar safety
type, was put through series of the
most extraordinary tests, with result
which greatly astOnished and amused the
onlookers. Starting from the center of
the town man rode the machine over
half mile or so Of road to the bank of
the river Brent, where, dismounting, he
proceeded to blow into e couple Of small
bags attached to the handles. The infia-
the rider, having thrown his bicycle into
the water, dived after it, swan across
and landed on the other side.
He then rode over three or four miles
of very rough and varied country, includ-
ing plowed fields and swampy meadows,
and having recrossed the river regalneu
Hanwell by some very rough lanes, lift
ing his machine over the closed gates.
Altogether he covered distance of about
five miles and his time was little more
than forty-one minutes. Subsequently 8
few well known cyclists, who were among
the visitors, tried the machine and rooe
over the most uneven ground, up and
down short and sharp hills, bricks and
other distractions in manner that
greatly surprised military men and others
who were present.

able methods to prevent settlement.
There are twenty or thirty wealthy. cor
porations and individuals engaged in the
cattle business on g large scale, on the
school lands, that will be forced by the
settlement of these lands either to close
out their business or emlgrate. They do
not desire to do either. They sre de-
termined not to relinquish their hold
upon this great territory of the state, so
long IS If can be maintained by indi
vidusl power or legal methods. The
rapid settlement of portions of the school
lands has partially broken the first, and
by a skillful manipulation of popular
prejudices they are enabled to retreat
behind the framework of the law.
1t remains to be seen whether their
position is strong enough to defy the
popular sentiment, which was skillfully
invoked to shelter them, and is now
fagrantly insulted when its services are
70 longer needed.

The RAIDS are dancing juba in New
Mexico. They left their country for thei;
country's good and came to the wild
wide west, csrpet-bag in hand. for the
sake of Office. 1t was the last ditch, aud
now that the Democrats ore signing the
pay-rolls and drawing the salaries, the
ousted Republicans seat themselves on
the fence and howl. The iron of defeat
is in their souls and they attempt to
yawp piteously, but the result is a sooth-
ing melody to Democratic ears. The
Governors name is Ross, and his capa
city for sitting on his political enemies is
astonishing.

THE lawyers have decided that the i'm
ported preacher who was employed to
take charge of one of the fash New York
churches must return, as he is laborer
within the meaning of the law, and
as such is prohibited from competing
with the native-born toiler. Tha,
is right. The early disciples were in
structed to seek the lost sheep of Israel
with neither gold nor silver nor brass in
their purses; they were commanded to
carry neither script nor stores, but to &C.
pend on their work for meat. They did
not telegraph ahead and tell the sinners
to come If $500 night were guaranteed
as some of our progressive Americans do.
nor did they wait until an irop-ciad con-
tract was signed, sealed and delivered tc
them. There were preachers in those
days; there are preachers in these, there
are lecturers on Scripture also.

THE cloven foot of the lease law system
is beginning to be visible to the naked
eye of those deluded people who cried
over the school children's grass. A lease
law that does not give absolute control
for term of years is dishonesty, and for
long time Texas was forced by the sys-
tenn to play a dishonest part in dealing
with cattlemen. But now, when the
solute control of lands for the
time that lessees pay for, then
sIl the infamles OF the leasing
system stand revealed to the public eye,
in the threatened eiectment of actual set
tiers. "We told you So"

a Dukes Intended.

BosToN, Oct. 10.-The Mrs. Adair who
is to marry the Duke of Marlborough is
well known is Boston among certain peo-
pie. Her reputation is based on her
great beauty. She was always regarded as
leading belle, especially in her younger
days. She was the daughter of General
Wadsworth, and was born in Genesee
county, New York, where her parents
lived and owned large estates. Her first
husband was Montgomery Richie Of this
city After the death OF her first husband,
BY whom she hsd children, Mrs. Richie
went abroad, where she met the gentle
man whose name she now bears. He is
said to have been a Scotchman or an
Irishmar. In England she was and is yet
well known as great beauty and OF sur

PROFESSOR GOODWIN SMITH, speaking
of the separation of the American colo.
MES from England, says that ia little
patience, little endurance on the part
Of the colonies would have ended in q
repeal of the Objectionable laws" It is
too late in the season to go back and try
the effects of patience and endurance
now. We have it from g gentleman
named Patrick Henry, however, that fur
Their patience would have resulted in the
presence of red coat in every house, and
this seems to be not improbable in view
of the fact that the Irish have been exer-
cising patience and endurance for 70C
years without having any of the obnox
ious laws repealed.

ever the matter is limited at is sufficient
proof of this. We believe also that while
no good Catholic csn oppose or question
the authority to which he is subject, yet
there has been q feeling of regret, especi-
ally among American born Catholics who
have been educated in our public schools,
that this decree enforcing the establish
ment OF psrochial schools should have
been passed. Regarding their love Of
country and of American institutions
there can be no question. We believe
the order enforcing parochial schools
was an unwise one, but the sacrifice and
the outlay comes upon the Catholics
themselves and not upon others.

We do not share the apprehension OF

Inc ABOVE paragraphs are taken from 8
single issue of the Panhandle News, pub
lished at Clarendon. One of them ap-
pears in It's local and the other in its edito-
rial columns. Their significance is fully
developed in the statement that both re-
fer to the same section of country, and
that one is the sequel of the other. The
facts are, as TIE GAZETTE learns from
credible sources, that settlements are be-
ing made in Armstrong county which
threaten the evasion by "nesters" OF one
of the largest pastures in the
Panhandle, his pasture includes some
thing near million acres of land, of
which about $4,000 scrCs belong to the
state. It WAS enclosed three or four
years ago, without, authority from the
state, and since that time the occupants
have enjoyed the benefits of the enclosure
without the contribution Of cent to the
school fund The steady approach of i'm
migration seems to have wrought change
OF policy on the part OF the occupants.
At the very mement that the foot of
the settler is raised to cross
the wire fence which encloses this
rich domain belonging to the state the
placard is hoisted: "This land is held
under an absolute lease from the state.
Parties disregarding our rights will be
vigorously prosecuted"
II the object of The GAZETTE was to
crafty its own vanity it would be content
to call attention to the remarkable full
fliment, within three months after an
absolute lease law went into effect, of it's
worst predictions as to the operations of
the leasing system. Within a week has
come The startling intelligence of per-
emptory order by an English cat
tie company for the abandon
ment of their homes by thirty families
which have settled within Its range, and
the significant warning by three other
great lessees that settlers who cross their
boundary lines will be vigorously prose-
cuted. This simultaneous action by the
| four heaviest lessees Of school lands Is
not an accident or the inspiration of q
hasty impulse. Men with such.vast in
terests depending on their movements
do not act without careful study OF
the probable results. The lease inter-
| ests have never before dared
to defy settlement, but have
ingeniously sought to convince the peo-
pie of the state that they were in sym
pathy with the development OF the west.
That they have succeeded but too well is
made plain by their action now in tearing
of the mask, so long assumed, and
placsrding their pastures with the warn
ing that all those who ignore "their
rights" will be vigorously prosecuted"
An absolute lease system is part of our
statutory law; the leases have been made,
and at last the holders Of the big
pastures are enabled to say in the name
of the law, what they have been mutteriug
under their breath since the tide OF i'm
migration first turned westward-"Keep

MANUAL TRAINING IN SCHOOLS.
The board OF education of New York
city have at length concluded to intro
duce manual training into public schools
there. They have been celebrating for
years as to the eypediency of the matter,
but the sentiment of the community is so
pronounced in its favor that they are now
determined to go ahead and give 1t fair
trial. They have carefully examined the
workings of the system in Europe as
we'll as the leading cities in this country
where adopted. According to their ideas,
certain amount of work, some appli-
cation Of mental power through the
body, or rather training of the
senses through the hand and the
eye, is needed 70 produce well
trained mind. The schools will include
carpenter work or the use of wood
working tools for boys, modelling in
clay for both boys and girls, construction
work in paper, pastebosrd and other suit
able material also for both sexes, and
sewing aud cooking for girls. This Is not
to apply to few children, but to all Of a
suitable age, and it is estimated will cost
the city about $120, 900 the first year and
some $50, 900 each succeeding year. AS
there are good many boys and girls in
New York who cannot attend school, ow-
ing to the lack of room, it might be well
f0r the board of education of that city to
attend to this matter before providing for
manual training.
